Skipper David Mundy and Chris Mayne were both omitted from the final team prior to the opening bounce. Mayne suffered a head knock at training during the week and did not pass a fitness test to play, while Mundy had a tight groin. Lyon said both would be fine to play next week.

Lyon said he also expected Harley Bennell (calf) and Alex Pearce (groin) to be in full training on Monday.

Nat Fyfe only played the second half but still collected 18 disposals. Lyon said the Brownlow medallist would likely play more game-time over the next two NAB Challenge matches.

The Dockers face Adelaide in Mount Barker next Sunday but it is unlikely they will rest many of their senior players.

"We've only got two games left and we're preparing for round one," Lyon said.

"One would suggest that we need to play some senior players against some fierce competition to get them ready."

Richmond also lost a man in the first half with key forward Ty Vickery taken out of the game in the opening quarter.

Vickery was extremely groggy as a trainer helped him off the ground, but Richmond's stand-in coach Brendon Lade said the club had not determined what happened.

"I'm not sure exactly what happened with Ty," Lade said.

"He came off the ground and there was something with his head. I'm not sure if he got knocked or (it was) heat stroke or (he was) dehydrated. We'll get some tests done and find out. Hopefully he'll be right next week."
